We rented an airbnb with a pool for a few weeks to finish out our USA Coronasummer Road Trip of 2020 slash babymoon! It took a long 10 hours or so, but we did it! We arrived late at night in Punta Gorda and were so relieved to know that we wouldn’t be driving at all, anywhere, the next day! We didn’t even have to get in the car at all! We took a midnight swim and the kids couldn’t have been more excited. Just like at home the twins had a bunk bed, Eclair got a purple room, and Molasses was so excited to not have to sleep in a pack and play. As it turns out we did have to get in the car for groceries, but it was a short drive and we were in and out and came back to the house to go swimming again. We truly enjoyed our time in Florida! All of our trips up until now have been to the Atlantic coast including Orlando (of course), Fort Lauderdale, and Key West!

It was a short drive to stop and see friends before ending our trip in South Florida. Such a good reprieve from the long days of driving! To top it off we got to spend the afternoon and evening eating BBQ with friends, playing with the twins' partner in crime, and enjoying great company! Our friends moved from Utah to Georgia 3 years ago, and we miss them everyday! We got to see them last spring break in 2019, and it was so awesome to be able to visit them again just over a year later! Some of our favorite things to do in Georgia:Best Treats in Atlanta: https://diapersonaplane.com/treats-atlanta/The Famous Varsity: https://diapersonaplane.com/varsity-with-kids-atlanta/Best Southern Breakfast at Stilesboro Biscuits: https://diapersonaplane.com/stilesboro-biscuits-atlanta/The state borders between Alabama, Tennessee, and Georgia criss-cross several times and we passed through the states multiple times before settling on Georgia. We never made a wrong turn, that’s just the way the road winds! Super interesting to experience! We couldn’t stop as it was on the busy interstate, but we had fun guessing how many times we’d see a new/repeat state sign! Questions We Asked Ourselves: Could Georgia and Tennessee be more beautiful?Favorite activities: Population Trivia and Riddles.

This is Vlog Episode #33: Part 4: Coronasummer Family Minivan Road Trip | Day 6 Missouri to Tennessee - Back to Five Daughters#coronasummer #familyroadtrip #minivanroadtripIf you missed Part 1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yaTMX0C-_Os&t=43sIf you missed Part 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mMJ8XYSenjs&t=33sIf you missed Part 3: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V9DX7U5akqk&feature=youtu.beDay 6 we traveled from Cameron, Missouri to Nashville, Tennessee. We passed through Missouri to Illinois to Kentucky to Tennessee! Originally, we were going to go through Indiana and take a river cave tour, but decided to take the shorter route and go straight through Tennessee. We have been on the road for 6 days so far, and the rules were pretty strict for the river cave tour. What did we see though? Hannibal, Missouri offered a plethora of awesome sites! We stopped at the mammoth Fireworks Superstore! It was incredible! It had more fireworks than I even knew existed. Truth, we've only ever been to the dinky parking lot tents, but this place is so cool! It's bigger than a Costco warehouse and filled to the brim! We will definitely be coming back here! We also found all the Mark Twain Sites. His birthplace, the lake that inspired him, the Mark Twain caves, and our little adventurer Widmore begged for the books as soon as we got to a place that Amazon could ship! We gladly obliged! We stopped for a bite to eat at A Taste of Philly in Bowling Green, MO. I'm not sure why we thought it was a good idea to buy crab cakes in the midwest. We don't recommend it. Of course, we stopped in the big city of St. Louis and played in the park and saw the famous Gateway Arch and learned all about the westward expansion! We world schooled about ethanol, and ethanol plants and how grain is used in so many products we use every day! And of course, we stopped in Nashville at Five Daughters Bakery to purchase a dozen 100 layer donuts! These donuts are the greatest donuts in the world! https://diapersonaplane.com/five-daughters-bakery/Questions We Asked Ourselves: Does America grow anything besides corn?Favorite activities: Population Trivia and Riddles. While on the road, our favorite activity was trying to solve riddles! We found an awesome website that we used to quiz the kids. https://www.fatherly.com/play/the-best-riddles-for-kids-not-confusing/ We found that Pie is great at linguistic word riddles, Eclair is remarkably astute at ones where the answer is right in front of you, and Widmore loves all the rest. They won laffy taffy ropes for each 3 riddles that they were able to get right! The best part was when the kids started coming up with their own riddles. It's amazing what kids can do when given total creative freedom without barriers!

This is Vlog Episode #32: Part 3: Coronasummer Family Minivan Road Trip | Day 3-5 Kansas to Missouri - Visiting The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints Sites#coronasummer #familyroadtrip #minivanroadtripIf you missed Part 1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yaTMX0C-_Os&t=43sIf you missed Part 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mMJ8XYSenjs&t=33sDay 3 we traveled from Hays, Kansas to Far West, Missouri. We arrived later than anticipated, but decided to stop here for a few days and take a mid trip pit stop in Missouri to check out the local sites, farm land and meet up with some friends! On our way there we stopped in Salina, Kansas at the Cozy Inn. https://www.cozyburger.com/ This is not a hotel, but a cute little outdoor eatery that serves mini hamburgers sold by the half dozen. We picked up 18 and everyone wished we had more! We also stopped in Kansas City, Kansas at Joe's Kansas City Bar-B-Que! https://www.joeskc.com/ Whatever you do, don't skip the burnt ends! This place is Anthony Bourdain approved, and worth every penny. It's the best food we ate the entire trip! We also ate at Gingeritch: A Dutch Pantry. They have some of the best fried chicken, catfish and apple pie we've ever had! Don't miss it! Kansas City spans two different states, both Kansas and Missouri, and the border is the Missouri River. Growing up in Oregon, I was used to crossing the Columbia River to reach Washington and this gave us another worldschooling opportunity to see how many states are divided by rivers. This wasn't the only one that we crossed over during our minivan road trip! We stayed in Cameron, Missouri and met up with friends at Adam Ondi-Ahman where we shared our BBQ the first night. Adam Ondi-Ahman is affectionately known as AOA by the locals. It's a beautiful sprawling land mass covered in corn fields, parks to play in and even has some original pioneer homes. It was pretty incredible to walk in such a sacred place! We also visited the Far West Temple Site and saw the original four cornerstones that the early prophets of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints laid. We climbed trees, we viewed and walked the grounds and we researched more sacred text and history. Questions We Asked Ourselves: Why don't we move to Missouri?? It's normal for people in Missouri to just have 2 acres. That's just a normal yard for most people! In Utah, we are begging for a sliver to mow! The pace of life is really slow, laidback and contemplative. We spent two days here and we really enjoyed our time. We went to the Amish Country Store, we got lost on country roads (there is NO cell service), we explored the woods, and we learned about self composting toilets! Worldschooling FTW!

This is Vlog Episode #31: Part 2: Coronasummer Family Minivan Road Trip | Day 2 Colorado to Kansas - Miles and Miles and Miles of Corn Fields #coronasummer #familyroadtrip #minivanroadtripDay 2 we traveled from Keystone, Colorado to Hays, Kansas. Our end goal was Kansas City - specifically the Great Wolf Lodge, but as it turns out the Lodge has been bit by the bug and wasn't fully open.We were so sad! In part, because The Great Wolf Lodge was our biggest plan for our family minivan road trip! It was the one thing we were super excited to do during this dreadful coronasummer. We were also disappointed because there is nothing much else to do in Kansas but look out the window of the minivan! Instead we called it a day on our minivan road trip in a big little city called Hays, Kansas in Northwestern Kansas about 3.5 hours outside of Kansas City. We were super sad and disappointed. First we got some greasy hamburgers at Freddy's Frozen Custard & Steakburgers, and then called every hotel to find one with vacancy enough to fit our big brood. Turns out the Comfort Inn offers a great set up with two queens and a pull out couch! The only downside is apparently the Comfort Inn has paper thin walls. The manager called us to tell us that our "neighbors" could hear the kids walking around. Yes, walking around. . We only made it about 7 hours on Day 2, but after 12 hours the first day, we earned a break! 7 hours is a long time in a car with little ones! During that time we saw miles and miles of corn fields and learned more trivia. We stopped in Limon, Colorado, mailed our taxes, got some Mexican Food and found a Railroad Park to play at! At one rest stop after passing through Kansas, we saw disconnected truck beds lined up in a big field and made up grand stories about why they were there. Questions We Asked Ourselves: Where have all the restrooms gone? People still gotta pee! Favorite activities: Population Trivia and Ghost Town Trivia. We continued our game of 'The Price is Right' to see who could get closest to the correct population of the cities we passed through. We looked up state and city facts, we compared city names and found out how many states have the same city names! The winners for each trivia question got a handful of M&M's, Skittles, or whatever we picked up at the gas stop. What are you doing this summer?

This is Vlog Episode #30: Part 1: Coronasummer Family Road Trip | Day 1 Utah to Colorado through the Rocky Mountains #coronasummer #familyroadtrip #minivanroadtripPlans change. Life changes. Family changes. Everything changes.In our last vlog we told you all about the crazy plans we had for the summer, building tree houses, visiting hot springs, touring our home state, baking in our hot kitchen, gardening, taking care of our backyard chickens, PVC zipline,... Yet, here we are on the road. Winging it. We'll go as far as we decide, and have fun along the way. Day 1 we traveled from Salt Lake City, Utah to Keystone, Colorado for this episode of our family babymoon! We can't miss the opportunity to celebrate our family of 6 before we become a family of 7! We made it a full 12 hours on Day 1. Who isn't impressed with that? We stopped at a little Daily Freeze in Utah for some milkshakes, took pictures on the state line, found peaches in Palisade, we climbed the Rocky Mountains to Keystone, found Ghost Towns and played trivia! Lessons We Need to Learn: What hotels can accommodate large families with little ones? We are pretty loyal to Hyatt House and Hyatt Place because they offer one king or two queens plus a fold out couch, but we need to find more so we don't have to drive out of our way to stop for the night! Please give us your suggestions and recommendations! Favorite activities: Population Trivia and Ghost Town Trivia. Along the way we looked up the population of cities and played 'The Price is Right' to see who could get closest to the correct population. We looked up state and city facts, we compared city names and found out how many states have the same city names and we found lots of ghost cities and learned why the people disappeared.

This is Vlog Episode #29: Worst Vacation Ever & Why We Are So Glad We Went#worstvacationever #panamaitinerary #christmasinpanamaYou may already be able to guess what vacation we are talking about. If you guessed: Panama, you’d be 100% right. After a decade of traveling with kids, Panama was our worst vacation ever! We had so many things go wrong, like:◘ One flat tire on the Panama Highway◘ Two flat tires on the Panama Highway◘ Stranded for 5 Hours◘ Renting a private car with no insurance◘ Local Contact not answering phone or responding◘ House Broken Into◘ Car sideswiped while parked◘ HarassmentAnd sure, that sounds bad, but we also had so many things go right, like:◘ Cliff jumping at Los Cajones◘ Seeing the Panama Canal in person◘ Celebrating Christmas in Panama◘ Feeding wild monkeys from the palm of our hands◘ Taking a boat out into the Panama Canal◘ Worldschooling in Central America◘ Exploring the Panama jungle and rainforest ◘ Ziplining inside a massive volcanic crater◘ Hiking in Panama City ◘ Meeting Panama Santa Claus At the end of the day, or trip if you will, while we affectionately refer to our time in Panama as our worst vacation ever, we are still so glad we went! We learned a lot from the things that went wrong, and we made incredible family memories to last a lifetime. We wouldn’t change it for the world!Not to mention, considering the current travel bans, who knows when we’ll be able to travel again! Any vacation is better than no vacation!

Vlog Episode 6: Riffing off Logan's last episode, we continue to explore the theme of XR's usefulness in exploring scale. Because I (Alex) am not cool enough to program my own AR app, and Alasdair already loves Google Earth, we started there, progressed into "Smash! Smash! Smash!" and even managed to fit in some VR swim-time. Anyone remember Encarta 95? As a kid I couldn't get enough of exploring that awesome 2.5D world.   Also, Google Earth has been great for helping Alasdair understand places that we encounter in books (check out "Architecture for Babies") as well as in my travels. In the past year I've been all over the world and it's become a standard ritual to come home and show Alasdair the places I went to and what I did there. He thinks it's all pretty cool, but mostly he just wants to go into the water :) Vlog version at: https://www.xr-dad.com/blog/ep06-google-earth-vr-even-better-than-encarta-95 More fun at: https://www.xr-dad.com/, sign up for our monthly newsletter and be the first to find out about new episodes.

Vlog Episode 5: Did you ever read the Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy? This was my favorite book for most of my childhood. The introduction to the book within the book perfectly encapsulates what I want to talk about today…. Space it says is big. Really big. You just won’t believe how vastly, hugely mind-boggling big it is. I mean you may think it’s a long way to the chemist, but that's just peanuts to space…  Join Logan on a trek through space and his quest to teach his XR Dad mini-me how vastly big our universe really is.   Using ARKit with Unity on an iPad, they drop into a truly scaled solar system (rare, actually). You can walk from planet to planet to get a feel for interplanetary distances.

Vlog Episode 4: When Alasdair was 2 years old, about a year ago, we read him a book called Scary Scary Halloween. I decided to make some ghosts. I took the ghosts from the book, I took the ghosts from Alan Noon's team's demo, I took the Magic Leap ghost and I just took another ghost that I happen to like a lot and I decided to have them orbit around the player wherever they are.

That video of you and Troubadour hiding ghosts. So lovely. So inspiring. I just had to do something even more wild and (spoiler alert) it was a little too much. When Alasdair was 2 years old, about a year ago, we read him a book called Scary Scary Halloween. This is a book that me and my brothers loved when we were kids and Alasdair loved it too and so I thought it would be fun to do an XR experience that kind of takes some of the things he likes in that book and brought it to life a little bit because he's he's a funny kid he kind of likes being scared sometimes. Let's let him see the cats. And that went really well. He enjoyed that in all the ways I thought he would. And even some ways that I wasn't quite expecting. Now the second part which was much more complicated was I decided to make some ghosts. I took the ghosts from the book, I took the ghosts from Alan Noon's team's demo, I took the Magic Leap ghost and I just took another ghost that I happen to like a lot and I decided to have them orbit around the player wherever they are, so Logan: I used your scary sounds and then I took some scary sounds from Alasdair reading the book and used two of those, but then also very simple in Unreal Engine I changed the pitch to make Alasdair's scary sounds a little more scary. A cool XR dad thing to me is allowing kids to feel more powerful than they actually are. The idea of the ghosts was that you could look at them and we use some eye tracking and there'd be a little green light wherever your eye was and whenever you look at a ghost it disappears. And then you also have a flashlight and when you shine your flashlight at the ghost that makes it fly away. Design flaw pointed out by Alasdair: they never actually go away. They disappear or they fly away but they come back exactly to where they were like five seconds later and Alasdair noticed this. So Alasdair started to go around and see these ghosts and he started to get a little bit scared so he checked in on him. He said it was fun scary, but you know, I remember being a kid and watching my dad's music video for a song called Faces in the Night and he asked me if I thought it was too scary and I said no no it's fine it's fine. It was definitely too scary. So hey, here's a little XR Dad tip: if you're building something and you want it to be kid-friendly but there's anything in there that you're even the slightest bit afraid might not be kid-friendly, have a way to turn it off. So in this case I turned off the ghosts and we just left it at the cats. So, some takeaways: always cool to make something that your child cherishes like a book come to life in a more vivid and wonderful way than they imagined, and of course with something like Magic Leap or augmented reality if you can make it site-specific it becomes a part of your house and you can form these very cool memories where it's not just about "hey remember when we read the book on the couch," it's "hey remember where that thing from the book happened on our porch." That's pretty neat. So Logan, thank you for inspiring me and I can't wait to see the next XR dad thing you do. Also for anyone who isn't Logan watching these videos, we're very excited to start interviewing people and getting a podcast version of this up and running, so if you are an XR Dad or XR Mom or XR anything that involves small children, please reach out let us know. We'd love to talk to you! Thanks.

Vlog Episode 3: In the spirit of Halloween, Logan set out to create a spooky Magic Leap demo for Troubadore. By accident, it turned into a bit of hide and seek fun.

Transcript: I love Halloween. Parties, dress up, spooky, carving pumpkins because they are an ephemeral art form with a silly overtone. Means I can't fret about doing it "right" so I get to just make. Halloween is a hidden world, the idea that there is this hidden world within our own that emerges during the spooky season. Invisible ghosts, vampires among us. The world of the dead coexisting with the world of the living. The idea of this spooky worlds all around us but invisible really speaks to human paranoia in a delightfully creepy way. My first explicit exposure to this idea was as a kid playing Silent Hill where the regular world transitions to this parallel "Otherworld". A little bit like the upside down in Stranger things. Well Augmented Reality manifests this idea of the world overlay. We see the world, but then peak into the hidden layers. At work it's about overlying construction documents or GIS data. At home I get to make the mythical spooky overlay a little more real. I wanted to share this idea of spooky overlay with Troubadore. While I was tempted to make the walls bleed and open up some hell portals. You know, and really creepy up my house in AR, I didn't think Troubadore was quite ready for that. Plus, that loses the spooky mystery of it. So I decided to play with spatialized audio to let the user hunt for the spooky thing by listening for it. When you find the spot where they are hiding, the spooks a revealed and run away with ridiculous ghost noises. I liked making it because: hand tracking, spatialized audio, controller input, multi player in a funny way. And an exploration of using an AR device in a primarily non-visual way. Troubadore liked it because everytime he found the ghosties hiding place, he was uncovering a magical secret, glimpsing into a previously inaccessible world.

Should Christians get tattoos? Can they get tattoos? What does the Bible have to say about permanently marking your body? For this podcast, my friend and colleague, Andrew, joins us to talk about his own tattoo, and his experience doing ministry with marked skin. We dive into the Biblical context of marking your skin and whether or not it is prohibited by the scriptures. Thanks for joining us for this episode of the Thursday's Theology podcast! Remember, theology doesn't always have to be difficult, it is simply the study of who God is. Take care, we'll see you next time.
